It only took them 4 YEARS from the date I submitted the complaint but after numerous mailings to them of vast amounts of information and check stub copies, they agreed that my LL has been overcharging me and miscalculated rent increases from four back-to-back MCI rent increase orders which DHCR approved.
The order said that they are to recalculate the rent going back to that date (4 years prior to the date I mailed in the complaint) with interest, or cut me some sort of check.
My question is, how long should I wait for my LL to take action? They do of course have the right to submit a PAR against this ruling but I doubt they will.
I want to make sure I'm not sending in more rent than I have to, so what should happen next when DHCR rules in favor of a tenant (a rare thing) and approves a tenant overcharge complaint? Do LL's normally drag their feet to issue the rent rollback?
